Firefox Community Forum

I have yesterday installed a Norton 360 upgrade to their search facility. On running Firefox after doing this, my bookmark and tollbar settings are not as that were before doing this.

Other than this, Firefox runs satisfactorily.

Can you please assist on getting these back to how thy were two days ago?

Hi,

Since my Firefox updated today (v132.0), sometimes when I swap tabs I get this grey bar appear for a split second at the bottom of the tab. This isn't super consistent, and seems to only happen when swapping from the New Tab page to some websites, such as Twitter and my email, but not others. I've tried disabling extensions to no avail.

Any ideas on the cause of this/how to fix?

Thank you very much for reading

Yesterday I could open any or all of the downloaded apps on the screen of my Apple laptop. Today, I can't! WHAT IS GOING ON? Being elderly and not very techie (to say the least!), I need simple answers, no jargon please. Is it because my laptop is 'elderly' in tech terms (Catalina 10.15.7) or what? I've used Mozilla most of the time for very many years, but I might swap to Safari or Chrome instead if this isn't sorted out PDQ.

Netflix sends multiple error codes when I try watching on Firefox browser. It will play on every other browser I use. As I can only watch Netflix from my computer this is most aggravating. Please fix this update?

Recently as updates are done every time i open my home page I get the Mozilla update page in addition to my desired home page. I can't seem to get rid of the congratulatory Mozilla page. Any suggestions ???

I'm running the desktop version of FF 132.0 with no adblockers.

When watching a YT video at 1080p, if I leave the tab to look at other tabs, when I go back to the video playing it's dropped the resolution to 640*360. It is annoying because I don't know if YT or FF is adjusting the resolution.

If have two instances of FF open with YT running in one tab only (on a single tab with no other tabs open), the I browse using the second instance of FF. The video still lowers in resolution, when I'm not actively watching.

Is it FF, YT or perhaps my GPU trying to save bandwidth?

My PC specs are 5900x, 32GB DDR4, rx7700xt running Windows 11.

I can't open many internet sites and get the comment that I do not use an actual browser. I did a refresh and cleaning, delete the program, install new, but the problems exists.

Weird thing happened - Youtube player vanished into nothing and doesn't go back. I tried restart, safe mode, disabling addons, clearing cache and DNS cache. Nothing brings the player back 😐 It happened suddenly. No other problem noticed. Page code looks like something really didn't load.

FF version 132.0 (aarch64) System Ventura 13.6.3

What could it be?

when i open firefox for the first time there is a flash on the screen and then nothing. i try again and it opens a single tab and not all the tabs when last closed

Some application registered links to a certain pattern of URLs to itself. Now every time I try to go to such address, a dialog pops up and asks to open that link in that application, but I neither have that application anymore nor am I interested in doing that. How can I make FF forget that application's setting?

I am a youtube content creator. I often use Pixabay and Pexels to get images or video clips to use in my videos. This worked all the time in the past with Firefox. All of a sudden, with one of the myriad of updates, I click on the download button ... I see the popup for the image size ... click on the download button there ... I see the popup "say thanks" for a brief moment, the "save it where, browse to the spot to save it to" dialog box never appears ... the firefox window goes blank and no download is actually done. Yes, they are added to the allowed sites to do popups. Now I have to go to Brave to do this, but I prefer Firefox. What is the fix?

I have switched from Chrome to FF and found out the old issue I always had is still present.

Firefox just doesn't start loading pages when I tell it to.

1. I go to F12, Network

2. I type youtube.com into address bar, press Enter.

Nothing. I wait 10 seconds. Nothing. I wait about 5 more. Then stuff starts loading. Table starts getting populated with rows... And total time elapsed only starts counting from this moment, not from when I pressed Enter.

3. New tab, F12, type google.com into address bar, press Enter.

Stuff starts loading immediately. Table starts getting populated with rows..

This is a fun one, every time I open Youtube on a normal window it crashes the tab. If I manage to hit a video before it crashes, the video will load for a few seconds and then crash the tab.

BUT! This is only if I am logged into my Google account and if I am not on a private browser. Even if I'm logged into Google on a private browser it will work fine.

I have disabled all my extensions and plugins, added them one by one, and there doesn't seem to be a correlation there. All my extensions and plugins are currently working on my Private tabs as well. I am stumped on this. Any help would be appreciated.
